I would be very surprised if Sherwood wins again. I have said repeatedly that he is one of the single most vulnerable incumbents, nevermind just in PA. The fact that he is running again is outrageous, the state party should've forced his removal.

"The fact that he is running again is outrageous"

Indeed, it shows that serving a long time in Congress can foster s sense of entitlement. This has been demonstrated again and again, by the likes of Conrad Burns, Don Sherwood, and others before them.

Republicans had better hope for even just one or two upsets in Demo districts to make up some ground. I wonder how strong of an effort they are making. I really hope they can do that because so many GOP seats are said to be vulnerable. Theyre going to need a lot of luck to stay in the majority. At least they have a lot of $$.

I absolutely agree that he should not have run again. I don't know know much about the dynamics of the race/district, but I see no reason to disbelieve this poll given that CD got a very similar result.

Back in 2005, we knew Sherwood was bad news. But did the GOP House listen? Noooo. I bet Sherwood, Ney, Delay and other vulnerables received assurances from Hastert that he will find some way to protect them, via campaign funds and pork spending.

In fact, Phil Crane seriously considered retiring in 2004. But Hastert urged him to run again. Hastert plans don't work very well do they? I fear what is plaguing the IL GOP is infecting our party on a national scale. A Culture of Dysfunction ism.
